Description
Pascoe House is an eclectic, High Victorian building featuring strong Gothic and Italian Renaissance elements. It stands three storeys high with an attic, constructed from coursed dark rubble with Bath stone dressings and a Radyr stone plinth band. The ground floor showcases polychromy in its arcading. The hipped slate roof is adorned with fine stone chimney stacks that are grouped together by a wraparound stone band, with the left-hand chimneys marking the end of the original structure. The eaves are elaborately treated, featuring a pierced parapet above a deep cornice inspired by acanthus leaves.
The building originally had a symmetrical facade with a configuration of two windows, a central entrance bay, and two more windows, flanked by pilaster strips. It was later extended by three bays to the left, which also has an end pilaster strip. The second floor includes an impost band, a rope-moulded sill band, and nook shafts, while the first floor features a lower band course that links the segmental-headed windows, which are framed by heavily ornamented architraves. The ground floor windows are arcaded, with polychrome voussoirs and bosses in the tympani, a foliated impost band, and ballflowers at the bases of the nook shafts, with a swept band below the sills. The pointed truncated granite columns taper towards the base, and there are panelled double doors leading to a shouldered doorway. The earlier part of the building has cellar openings, and the left-hand end has a single window, while the rear features a five-window and four-window arrangement with a skewed angle to the three-window extension.
The varied dormers include two pyramidal roof dormers on the left, modern dormers in the middle, and a gabled dormer on the right. The original section has a central two-storey projection. To the left, at the junction with Dock Lane, there is a triangular enclosure defined by iron railings with floral finials, square iron gatepiers with finials, and gates that match the style. Inside, the main rooms are decorated with guilloche pattern cornices and panelled doors.
